Don't know what caused this, but it was ugly!
I took these pictures this morning up in Kingsport, TN...on I-26/US23 just north of I-81.
  The road here is fairly flat, a gradual curve, and the speed limit is 55 here for trucks. I tried to find out news about it...but as yet there is none showing. I doubt the driver survived it. If you look hard, just ahead of where the orange container is laying you will see the wheels of the tractor "up" and the frame....there is not much of a ditch there...the tractor was pretty much destroyed.... I don't know if he was cut off by someone, or if he was traveling too fast, or if his load shifted. In any event...it was an ugly scene, and it looked like it may have been a combination of loss of control due to speed and load shift.... Folks....you gotta be really careful out there....

Wow. That is something. By looking, you'd never dreamed that he walked away from that.

Kingsport News Driver walked away with minor injuries after dropping onto the shoulder and loosing control Thanks for posting that..... I couldn't find anything before. That guy should buy a couple of lottery tickets!!! Lucky is hardly the word for it..... I'm happy to hear he walked away from it.... I've seen accidents less severe that involved body bags.
